FTP security
I would like to provide ftp access to my users at www.ack-network.d4a.com, but i'm not sure what security measures i should take. I want to set it up for a windows server, and i am going to use filezilla.

Despite what anyone might tell you security in FTP does not exist. Usernames are passwords are sent in clear text. You should consider using SFTP or FTP+SSL.
